About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling, meeting new people and studying a PhD in Genomics of Malagasy Palms! Amazing!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Madrid, a big city in Spain. Now I am tired of big cities and I want to live in smaller places, with lots of nature and clean air! I'm a conservation biologist and for my last year of bachelor, I went to Norway and fell in love with it! But now a new adventure started doing my PhD in Leipzig, Germany ;D
I think I'm an easy-going and open-minded person, always trying to be happy and funny. I'm really talkative, but I love listening to stories of all types. I really like music, meeting new people, traveling, exploring nature and playing games!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Without experience yet, but looking forward to have it!

Interests

I really enjoy traveling, music, cooking, knitting & crocheting, playing games and meeting new people. My favourite thing is nature, animals, plants, exploring it by hiking, and learning from them.
I'm also very interested in learning permaculture and eco building techniques (cob building).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the Nothern Lights in the north of Norway (Lofoten Islands) almost every night during one winter.... Something I will definitely miss here in Germany.
Also in Lofoten, kayaking into the Reine Fiord, watching the seals and those beautiful and huge mountains, you feel so small...

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like cooking and I love sharing recipes and learning new ones! I can try teaching some spanish language and spanish culture as well. I can teach knitting & crocheting and I love sharing knowledge about biology.

As I said before I'm really interested in learning about permaculture and eco building. I think is how I want to live!
